In the spirit of Labor Day next week, we’re featuring one of our favorite w**e country estates.

This beautiful farm garden retains its identity as part of Napa Valley’s agricultural landscape.

A bed of roses frames the existing pool and towering palms cast long, golden-hour shadows.

New pool paving was added, along with gravel paths, a large vegetable garden, a cutting garden and a sports court.

Wherever you choose to celebrate, we wish you a relaxing, sun-soaked Labor Day weekend.

It’s back to school! Touches of nature anchor every corner on the rooftop terrace at The Hamlin School

Tactile, colorful and durable, this outdoor environment is designed for young students of all ages.

On the beach. Inspired by the nearby coastline, layered drifts of golden and blue grasses invoke the feeling of coastal dunes at this Corona del Mar home.

Raw concrete and warm toned gravel in the front of the property further express the coastal feeling.

Backyard oasis. Set around a charming 1930s storybook home, this garden embraces the contrast between historic character and contemporary design.

A new pool, outdoor cooking area and gathering spaces transform what was once a large lawn into a series of connected outdoor rooms.

Breaking with conventions. Moving away from the neighborhood’s traditional lawns and boxwood, this desert-inspired palette is well-adapted to Sacramento’s hot, dry climate.

Olive trees, palo verde, and California pepper trees are layered with succulents and grasses. The result is simple, yet textural, and grounded in place.

Located in a tranquil redwood forest, we took special care to design around these gentle giants.

Complementing the existing entrance stair that winds through the redwoods, we created geometric planting beds that prevent erosion and create a lush understory.

Located on a hilltop surrounded by oak savannah, this estate’s entire landscape was reimagined to celebrate its surroundings.

Each amenity was carefully sited to maintain the integrity of the natural landscape and blend seamlessly with the existing site and vegetation.

Views for days. Perched on a hillside overlooking the Pacific, this coastal landscape was designed to preserve every sightline.

A low-profile platform deck keeps the ocean views unobstructed, while a verdant wood staircase leads to the garden’s lower level. There, a fire pit lounge is tucked behind a lush planting screen that offers protection from coastal winds and matches the soft tones of the sky at sunrise and sunset.
